The Growth Zone
When we find something difficult or challenging, our brain can think this is
a threat. Stress chemicals like cortisol are then released into our body.
It can feel a bit horrid.
If we have had lots of times when we feel capable, there will be a good
stock of good feelings in our system – enough to balance out the stress
chemicals. They go green! We have entered the Growth Zone!
It is not easy, but we can learn to tolerate the sometimes unpleasant
feeling of growth.
